Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Recently, the research of colon diagnostic robot has been opened up in several research institutes with the ultimate goal of using for clinical application. The developed robot was small-size, autonomous control and a kind of collection of diagnostic and cure.
OBJECTIVE: To design an inchworm-like colon diagnostic robot for diagnosing the colon tumors.
METHODS: The robot was driven by the micro motor. The axial mechanism realized the function that stretching out and drawing back on both way. A stroke step of the robot was 32.8 mm. The radial mechanism realized the function that clamping the colon for long-diameter. The maximum size of clamping diameter was 58.7 mm. The camera in the front of the robot worked as a visual navigation. The biopsying mechanism could finish a whole biopsying operation.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The experiments were preformed in the glass tube and pig intestines, the robot could move forward, backward and park. That validates the robot is practicability.
